* ContestedSequel: While ''The Delicious Last Course'' was well-received overall, there are some people who consider it a decent game with some good bosses and moments but ultimately paling to the original. Many didn't like how relatively easy the new bosses were, had trouble getting used to Ms. Chalice's parry and overall think that ''Cuphead'' was better as a stand-alone game than a franchise. There are others who consider it an EvenBetterSequel due to the animation, Ms. Chalice [[AscendedExtra getting more screentime]] and [[spoiler:a clever twist villain]].

*** Grim Matchstick is one of the hardest bosses in the series but as his game over quotes show, he has no malicious intentions. Some of the faces and movements he makes look kind of goofy, [[LargeHam theatrical]] and even Adorkable, making it seem like he bears no ill will towards Cuphead and Mugman. His [[SpeechImpediment stutter]] may also make him more sympathetic.
*** Wally Warbles is a PerpetualFrowner who is infamous for being ''brutally'' difficult on Expert mode but he lost his house, got defeathered, his son got beat up, he gets knocked unconsious and because his phase ends with the paramedics about to eat him, [[UncertainDoom his chances of survival don't look too good]].

** Many of the Runaway Debtors are infamously difficult but much like Cuphead and Mugman, they sold their souls to the devil and have to fight back in fear of losing their contracts.
*** Goopy Le Grande is one of the many difficult bosses you'll have to fight. He even gets bigger [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything in a manner similar to taking steroids]] and will stop at nothing to defeat the player but after his second phase, he ''dies'' and continues to fight the player, despite the fact that he's dead. Because he isn't shown in the ending, it can easily be assumed that he's most likely KilledOffForReal, with many believing his defeat was [[KarmicOverkill overkill]].

* FandomRivalry: ''Cuphead'' and ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' fans tend to be a mixed bag. This is due to ''Pizzeria Simulator'' coming out two months after ''Cuphead'''s release and despite ''FNAF'' being a massively popular video game franchise, ''Cuphead'' proved to be more popular than ''Pizzeria Simulator''. This caused some ''FNAF'' fans to grow jealous and accuse ''Cuphead'' of "stealing their thunder". That being said, there is still [[TakeAThirdOption a third party]] who likes both games equally.

** The final scene of ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow'' reveals that [[spoiler:the show was ([[BroadStrokes to some extent]], given the differing backstories of both work's versions of Ms. Chalice) a StealthPrequel to the game the whole time. If some version of this applies to the game's canon, then a lot of the game's events gain much more depth. For example, the show establishes a few of the bosses as having interacted with the brothers beforehand; how did the brothers react to being forced to battle them, especially Cala Maria, who Mugman is shown to have a crush on? Similarly, Elder Kettle turning from a cranky old man in the show to a kindly grandparent in-game could be seen as him realizing the stakes the brothers face in their darkest hour, while the Devil & King Dice [[TookALevelInBadass Taking A Level In Badass]] in-game could be seen as them deciding that [[NotSoHarmlessVillain they've been foiled enough times]] after the show's events]].
